If you are looking for chain fittings for lifting applications that are capable of stretching and elongating in order to absorb shock loads, you might require our Duke Grade 8 Chain Fittings.
For your peace of mind, all of our chain fittings are fully proof-tested before going on sale to our customers. This enables us to make sure that they meet all the essential health and safety requirements, so you know you can trust the products to lift in a safe and secure manner. To help you consider whether these fittings are right for your project, read on and find out more.
The Basics
The load limit of these kinds of chain fittings can range from as little as 1.5 tones to a massive 31.5 tonnes. This working load limit refers to a single leg sling, which can be a great choice for most applications. It is possible to use stronger fittings, but we find that this type will suffice for many jobs.
The Choices
When you are browsing our options for Duke Grade 8 Chain Fittings, you will find there are a range of categories to choose from. These include lifting hooks, master links and connectors, grab hooks and clutches, as well as a range of web sling accessories.
The Details
At UK Lifting Equipment, we have an extensive collection of different chain fittings, so we are sure to stock the right kind for you. If you need to lift awkward or bulky loads that requiring turning in mid-air, to ensure this is done safely, we can provide Duke Grade 8 Chain Fittings with swivel eye bolts that are designed exactly for this purpose. Moreover, we can supply weld-on hooks with a weld-on pivoting D-link and spring, which we find is a common requirement for some projects.
The Sizes
As well as considering the weight of the load, and the type of fittings that you need, it’s also important to think about what sizes you will need. We usually recommend the standard size of approximately 7 or 8 mm. However, it is possible to buy some of our fittings in much bigger sizes, going up to 32 mm. It is worth thinking about what you actually need, as this will affect the price you pay. Occasionally, the size may not be a matter of choice. For example, when it comes to our weld-on hooks, the size you need is determined by the amount of tonnes, with the standard being 2T.
